DTC C1741: Pressure Sensor

DTC detecting condition: 

• A fault is detected if the fluid pressure signal in master cylinder are out of normal range.
• A fault is detected if the condition that supply voltage for the fluid pressure sensor is out of normal judgment range continues for predetermined time.
• A fault is detected if the communication status of fluid pressure sensor is abnormal.
• A fault is detected if the data of fluid pressure sensor is abnormal.
• A fault is detected if the offset value of fluid pressure sensor signal exceeds a predetermined judgment value.

Trouble symptom: 

• VDC does not operate sometimes.
• ABS does not operate sometimes.
• AVH does not function.
• EyeSight does not operate.

Failure detection pattern: 

• "Primary" (high-priority diagnosis)

Warning light/indicator light: 

The combination of DTC and warning light display may differ from the list depending on vehicle conditions and driving conditions at the time of failure detection.

• ABS warning light◦
• VDC warning light & VDC operation indicator light◦
• Electronic parking brake warning light (red)◦
• Brake warning light (EBD warning light) (red) -

1. CHECK STOP LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT AND INSTALLATION CONDITION  .

   Check the stop light switch circuit and the installation condition.

   Is the check result OK?

   Yes:  GO TO  2.

   No:  Repair the stop light switch circuit or correct the installation condition.

   NOTE: If there is malfunction in the stop light circuit, DTC may be recorded in the memory.
2. CHECK OUTPUT OF PRESSURE SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .

   Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read data of [Pressure Sensor Output] in the [Data Monitor] of [Brake Control]. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR .

   With the brake pedal released, is the value of [Pressure Sensor Output] -11 - 11 bar?

   Yes:  GO TO  3.

   No:  Replace the VDCCM & H/U. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM & H/U) .

3. CHECK OUTPUT OF PRESSURE SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .

   Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read data of [Pressure Sensor Output] in the [Data Monitor] of [Brake Control]. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR .

   When the brake pedal is operated, does the value of [Pressure Sensor Output] change in accordance with the brake pedal?

   Yes:  GO TO  4.

   No:  Replace the VDCCM & H/U. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM & H/U) .

4. CHECK VDCCM & H/U  .
   1. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory of [Brake Control]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>CLEAR MEMORY .
   2. Execute the inspection mode. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>INSPECTION MODE .
   3. Read the DTC of [Brake Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is the same DTC displayed?

   Yes:  Replace the VDCCM & H/U. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM & H/U) .

   No:  GO TO  5.

5. CHECK DETECTION OF OTHER DTCS FOR VDC  .

   Read the DTC of [Brake Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is any other DTC displayed?

   Yes:  Perform the diagnosis according to the DTC. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)>LIST .

   No:  Currently, it is normal. There may have been a temporary poor contact in the harness and connector or a temporary noise interference.
